Dynamic Dialogue Course

I didn't see in your posting when the class begins.

Because Sol can easily perform miracles.

Verryy interrestinnng. Hmm... maybe you can get him to conjure up a winning lottery numbers combination, worth about 185 million at present for Powerball. Take care. Vern

I believe this person can be a founding member if he/she has been a member for some time by another name, and came over with the rest of us from the old site. The LAMackey account may be new, but the person has been around for a while. By the way, does anyone remember who used that drawing as their personal picture when we moved?  JP

If they were a founding member under any circumstance, then it should say so on their profile whether they are using a different name or not and of course they could also say they changed their name which would probably gain more attention from those who knew them by another name. And their profile should also list their membership date as the previous earlier one, not this month. But then who's counting other than me; I see things which don't look kosher, I get curious - good thing I'm not a cat. No big deal other than inquiring minds want to know. Take care. Vern

And you might note I said as much in my opening statement of "Probably nothing to do with your credentials ..." but obviously you didn't note that. However, since you brought it up, one might also question the validity of those credentials if such an unimportant fact is misrepresented. And as I also stated, it's no big deal to me. Of course it might be to someone interested in such course, but then again, maybe not. But who cares? Take care. Vern

If you read what I said you would know that "inquiring minds want to know." I happen to be in that category; if you're not, then that also is no big deal. Take care. Vern

In my opinion Vern was right to question the membership credential. I’ve been in and around tNBW since 2006 and am not familiar with ‘LAMackey’

I too was interested if this was a tNBW old timer returned to the site under a new alias?

We live in a world where the corporate and governmental standard business ethic has become ‘the sale comes first and truth comes second’. No wonder that spam and scam are so prevalent. We also know there a plenty of substandard and charlatan products and services offered to amateur creative writing students.

LAMackey is asking us for a monetary investment to enrol into this course and we are all entitled to expect a legitimate product, quality and value for money.

Please don’t misunderstand or misconstrue my sentiment here; I am not for a moment suggesting that  LAMackey’s course is not a fine, upstanding and legitimate product.

However, in-line with Vern’s thought process I too wondered about the ‘founding member’ credential. It is after all promoted as a sales device, a marketing credential; to establish a substantial tie-in with the tNBW site that reassures the tNBW buyer. If true it lends a degree of legitimacy to the product whereas if the introductory credential is a false or untrue claim, how do you qualify anything else about the product?

I know that all Americans over fifty reckon they were at Woodstock, but in my opinion you cannot wear the medal if you didn’t serve in the campaign.

I can verify that LAMackey is a second account for someone who is a founding member.

Glad you cleared that up. In that case should she not be listed as a founding member on her profile? Of course if she had been, we wouldn't have had all this fun dialogue. Take care. Vern
